Moosehide is a traditional Hän Athabascan village located just downstream from Dawson City, serving as a living cultural heritage site. The community maintains its historic log structures, including a church and community hall, and hosts the annual Moosehide Gathering, a celebration of Indigenous culture with dancing, drumming, and storytelling. Visitors can tour the village to learn about Hän traditions, view artifacts, and experience the serene riverside setting. It's a rare opportunity to engage with the enduring legacy of the region's First Peoples.
